About the Planet 2000
The Rega Planet 2000 is an updated version of the original Rega Planet CD player from around 2000, known for its innovative top-loading design without a conventional drawer mechanism. It uses a Sony CDM145BL-5BD25 transport, custom Rega IC40 24-bit Sigma Delta DAC (modified Burr-Brown/Wolfson), and features improvements in power supply, coupling capacitors, and digital section. Housed in a compact extruded aluminum case with VCS (Viscous Coupled System) feet for isolation, it provides analog RCA outputs, coaxial and optical digital outputs, and supports CD, CD-R, MP3, WMA, WAV, AIFF formats. Praised for musicality, transparency, soundstage, and rhythmic drive, though bass can be light and it may lack some warmth compared to predecessors. No longer manufactured, used examples
